Nice... feels a bit like the Gremlin shell. What's the tech behind this website?

  The idea is that you'd use this via the python shell (and soon, from your R code or Javascript code), and not through the website. Looks like we need to make that clearer. The website stack is Postgres+Django+Python.

    How interconnected is your data? Did you consider a graph db?
    • kemvi 15y ago
      It's highly interconnected. For example, you can make hops like USCounty--USState--Senator--Vote on economic stimulus bill. The data backend is indeed NoSQL, but we didn't choose a graph db because there are no really good graph solutions that are easily parallelized.
